ieur that those people have more heed for
Their personal interests than the interests OF
Louisiana and the Democratic party, he
SAID, dc went back to the period Of 1884
and the bitter contest against GOV. MeEnery

welfare Of Louisiana. Point your finger 70
anything that he has done for which he has
TO apologize.

'aov. McEnery hos been tried, not in
times when anyone could be a hero, but in
the dark times from 1868 10 1878, when we
were bathing When mon had to encounter
personal dangers and perils to COuntenHnOe
white Democratic power. He WIS there
when you needed him. He put on his armour
and aided the true Democracy Of Louisiana,
which las redeemed this State from Radical
rule and domination.
why ia tiff Gov. McEnery has been 30
unsatisfactory and unpopulaE-Why is it that
you cannot have Cunningham and jetiries,
or uthers9 They are told you can't be EBpi-
rants for the nominations there 10 only one
man that can beat McEnery, and thpt man il
Francis T. NiCholls.'"
The speaker expressed high regard for
Gen. Nichols. He feared that he had never
graEped the great problem Of the race ques-
